• Why did you choose to apply to Human Sciences at
  Oxford?
• Whilst applying to university I really struggled
  to choose a subject. I couldnt find any one
  subject that I felt wasnt too narrow or had
  enough variation as this is something I have
  always valued. I chose to do A-levels in Maths,
  English literature, Philosophy and applied Ethics
  and Biology which goes some way to demonstrating
  the difficulty I had in narrowing my options
  down. I chose these subjects based purely on
  enjoyment and my aim was to find a degree course
  that continued this. I undertook an extended
  project qualification on healing miracles in an
  attempt to look at the intersection between the
  biological and cultural

• aspects of the subjects I was studying- and it
  was at this point that I found the human sciences
  course. When I found it, I felt that I had
  finally discovered a course that satisfied my
  wish to study a broad range of subjects and the
  areas of intersection between them. It seemed
  unique in that it is one of the few truly
  interdisciplinary subjects available at a degree
  level.
• I am very passionate about the subject I study
  and during sixth form, I attempted to raise
  awareness of the course by giving short
  presentations on it to younger years and
  discussing with the senior management teams ways
  in which we could help raise its profile in the
  school.

• Oxbridge Sciences was set up by a group of
  Oxbridge Graduates who felt that there was a need
  to demystify the admissions process, providing
  advice and guidance to talented students with
  Oxford and Cambridge university tuition. Among
  our founders include Doctors, Research scientists
  and management consultants all graduates of
  Oxford and Cambridge. All of our oxbridge
  applications tutors are either current or very
  recently graduated students of Oxford and
  Cambridge University. We have hundreds of
  applications each year for tutoring spots, Oxford
  and Cambridge mock interview and we typically
  only choose a select few to join us in our very
  unique aim.
